The animation and 3D effects are notches above what has been attempted in the children’s film genre by an Indian studio. A 15-minute shorter duration would have kept it crisper. However, the attempt to tell a simple kiddie story with the right punches must be applauded. Motu is not as endearing as Mowgli from The Jungle Book nor is this animated action-adventure anywhere close to the Hollywood film that recently rewrote box-office history. But Motu-Patlu’s arrival on the scene with Guddu Ghalib, who looks exactly like Simha changes everything. The villain also intends to kill the original Lion King (Simha) and all the other animals. However, even before their good intentions can be translated, Motu finds out that the jungle has been seized by a dangerous poacher called Narsimha, who intends to loot the gold hidden inside. They even decide to drop him off at the jungle. However, when they discover that this circus lion is a softie at heart and chomps on carrots for lunch, they befriend him. At first, the two friends are afraid of the lion because they think he is your regular ferocious man-eater. One day Guddu escapes and comes straight to Furfuri Nagariya, the home of Motu-Patlu. So where their screen-adventure begin? Well, it all starts when they bump into Guddu Ghalib, the vegetarian circus lion, who is frustrated riding bicycles and jumping through fire rings.
